Materials for Canaseraga Projects

This is fill and sub-base country. A lot of the work around Canaseraga starts by raising grade, filling a low spot or building up a pad, then topping it with something that sheds water. Here is how the materials break down by project.

Raising grade and building a pad

Fill Dirt goes down first to bring a low corner up to grade or to backfill around a foundation. It is common fill, so it is not a finish surface.

Item 4 is the layer that follows. It compacts hard and locks together, which is why it is the standard subbase under driveways, parking pads and shed floors in New York.

Crusher Run does the same job. Many yards upstate sell it as the same kind of material as item 4, so take whichever name you know.

Driveways

Build the base with item 4, compact it, then surface with Driveway Gravel. Topping an existing drive that has gone loose and potholed is the same order, just without the full rebuild.

Drainage and wet ground

Clean washed stone lets water move instead of holding it. #57 Stone is the usual pick for French drains, and Drain Rock covers drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

For heavier flow, #4 Crushed Stone handles construction entrances and trench bottoms. RipRap armors a stream bank, culvert outlet or ditch against fast water.

Patios, walkways and beds

Bed pavers and flagstone on Stone Dust, the New York name for screenings. Set the joints with Mason Sand or a small washed stone.

Walkways take 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel or Walkway Gravel. Beds and borders get River Rock or Large River Rock.

Lawns and planting

Spread Top Soil over rough grade for a lawn, and use Garden Soil in raised beds and planting areas. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through the summer.

Ground and Conditions in Canaseraga

The hills here are stony, silty glacial till over layered shale and sandstone. Many upland soils have a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface, and valley floors carry gravel, sand and silt. That dense layer is why an under-built base fails: water sits in the subgrade and the stone above it moves.

Heavy rain runs off the steep hillsides into narrow valleys, so creeks rise fast and flash flooding is a recurring hazard. Fast water scours stream banks, culvert outlets and road ditches, and bare soil on steep slopes washes out quickly. RipRap and clean drainage stone are the defense on those edges.

On flatter uplands, the dense subsoil keeps water sitting after rain and snowmelt. Build the base so it drains, and compact in lifts rather than one deep layer.

Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and hillside sites and back roads stay soft and wet into spring. Wet silty till can heave and turn soft as the frost comes out of the ground, so time your pour or your base work after the ground has settled. Footings usually go about 4 feet down, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

Questions from Canaseraga Contractors and Homeowners

What is the best base under pavers in Canaseraga?

Item 4 is the base, compacted in lifts so it locks up hard and drains. On top of that goes a bedding layer of stone dust, the New York name for screenings, screeded flat before the pavers go down. The dense subsoil on the uplands here holds water, so the base needs to shed it rather than trap it.
